At the CTIA Wireless 2007 show, TI is providing public demonstrations of its digital light processing (DLP) 'pico' projector, a tiny movie projector that can fit inside a cell phone.

TI showed off the components and a prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year to a few reporters. Now the company is touting a working prototype in a phone. The phone is fake, but the projector works.

I expect someday this is what laptop displays will look like. Why waste physical space and weight, provided you can find or create a flat viewing surface?
